Project Proposal (Restrained): Access to this data collection is provided only after submitting and receiving approval for a project proposal. Access is limited to accepted projects that meet the conditions defined by ESA.

Access Steps:

1. Create or log in to EO Sign In (users are recommended to register with an institutional email address)
2. Submit your proposal, choosing one or both of the following options depending on your requirements: 
   • Standard PNEO provision.
   • One Atlas Living Library subscription.
3. Complete and submit the form with details of your proposed data use. 
4. ESA will evaluate your proposal (normally within 9 weeks).
5. Go to the EO User Portal to check the status of your request
6. If approved, you will receive a confirmation email with the quota assigned and instructions on how to order the data. 

The collection is open for research and application development projects, exclusively for non-commercial, non-operational, and civil Earth observation research purposes. Submission of a Project Proposal is mandatory and subject to evaluation by ESA and the data owner.

ESA supports as many high-quality and innovative projects as possible within the quota limits. This means only a limited number of products can be allocated to each project. 

• Learn more about the quota limits and see a comparison across missions in our FAQ: How much data may I request in a Project Proposal?
• For guidance on preparing your proposal, see our How to access data requiring a project proposal guide.
• Availability and restrictions to the use of the data are described in the Terms of Applicability document.

Very High Resolution optical Pléiades Neo data at 30 cm PAN resolution (1.2 m 6-bands Multispectral) are available as part of the Airbus provision with twice daily revisit capability over the entire globe. The swath width is 14 km (footprint at nadir).

Spectral band combination options:

• Panchromatic one band Black and White image at 0.3 m resolution
• Pansharpened colour image at 0.3 m resolution: Natural colour (3 bands RGB), false colour (3 bands NIRRG), 4 bands (RGB+NIR), 6 bands
• Multispectral colour image in 4 bands (RGB+NIR) or 6 bands (also Deep blue and Red Edge) at 1.2 m resolution
• Bundle 0.3 m panchromatic image and 1.2 m multispectral image (4 or 6 bands) simultaneously acquired

Two different geometric processing levels are:

• Primary: The Primary product is the processing level closest to the natural image acquired by the sensor. This product restores perfect collection conditions: the sensor is placed in rectilinear geometry, and the image is clear of all radiometric distortion.
• Ortho: The Ortho product is a georeferenced image in Earth geometry, corrected from acquisition and terrain off-nadir effects.

Acquisition modes:

• Mono
• Stereo
• Tristereo
• HD15: 15 cm resolution for Panchromatic, 60 cm resolution for Multispectral: Mono image resampled by using machine learning model which increase sharpness and fineness of details without introducing any fake data.

To complement the traditional and fully customised ordering and download of selected SPOT, Pléiades or Pléiades Neo images in a variety of data formats, you can also subscribe to the OneAtlas Living Library package where the entire OneAtlas optical archive of ortho images is updated on a daily basis and made available for streaming or download.

The Living Library consists of:

• less-than-18-months-old Pansharpened and Bundle imagery
• a curation of SPOT images with no cloud cover and less than 30° incidence angle
• Pléiades images acquired worldwide with maximum 15% cloud cover and 30° Incidence Angle
• Pléiades Neo premium imagery selection with 2% cloud cover and 30° incidence angle

Each package provides access to both download and streaming options. Depending on their preferences and needs, users can choose streaming only, download only, or a combination of both. The amounts presented in the table reflect consumption based solely on one type—either streaming or download—from a single mission

All details about the data provision, data access conditions and quota assignment procedure are described in the Terms of Applicability available in the Resources section.

As per ESA policy, very high-resolution imagery of conflict areas cannot be provided.
